Prepare Now: A Christian Perspective on Preparing for Hard Times ReviewI have read several survival/food preparedness books in order to become better informed and to be prepared. Because face it, the more prepared you are, the better chance you have of getting through crises and recovering from them. After 9/11, I have become increasingly aware how fragile our systems really are. Living in a remote area, we are totally dependent on supplies of food being trucked in to our local grocery stores from centers at least 10 hours' drive away from us. If this system was disrupted in any way, or, if truckers went on strike, many of us would be in a precarious situation. All you have to do is watch people shop when there is an impending snowstorm. The shelves quickly get wiped out. So I made up my mind to learn how to be more proactive and self-reliant. I do so appreciate the common sense, no nonsense approace this pastor takes in writing this book. He explains through the use of scripture that it is Godly to be prepared for hard times. Yes, Jesus did say "look at the birds of the field, your Heavenly Father feeds them," and, "consider the ant." These examples from nature, and others, reveal that God put in animals an automatic response to preparing for hard times. Yes, God does feed the birds, but if you watch them, they are always working. They don't just sit in their nests and wait for food to fall from Heaven. Same goes for the ants, who automatically store food. It isn't out of fear, but of God-given instinct and self-preservation. I would go further to say that the parable of the maidens, the bridgroom, and their lamps also applies to preparing for difficult times financially as well as spiritually. Emergent situations can and do happen. I like his suggestion of having a bag assembled with helpful items in case you can't get home because of highway emergencies and whatnot. I love that he lists what foods he stores for his family of 4. He gives approximate amounts of many things he stores to give you an idea of how much of each item to store for each person and how to store it. He also tells you how long you can expect each food to last. Several food stuffs can last up to 15 years, if it is stored properly. He explains how easy it is for a family of four to have meals that cost under $2.00 per person per day. He suggests having a whole year supply for backup. However, if you are like me, you don't have the room to store that much. But it is prudent to store as much as you can of the stuff you know you can use. The numbers he gives are very helpful to plan. He also gives some recipes specific to food storage which is really really helpful. I hope he and/or his wife writes another book of recipes just for food storage. If you live in a small apartment, it would be wise to have some MRE's (meals ready-to-eat) stored which are basically dehydrated foods that just need hot water. They also take up the least room. FEMA suggests having three days' worth, but the author disagrees. He feels to have at least a month or more. I'm not at the point where I'm grinding my own wheat and baking my own bread every week. But I am more conscious of the value of the food I buy and what I can do with it. I probably will not get to the point of storing wheat berries in 45 pound containers, but I can at least plan a weekly common-sense moderately healthy menu that isn't solely reliant on making multiple trips to the grocery store in a crisis or a short-term food shortage. I am slowly incorporating more beans and rice into my menus to get used to them so we won't go into "food shock" if we have to rely solely on storage. It does take adopting a new mindset. I buy less and less convenient foods and prepare my own.Prepare Now: A Christian Perspective on Preparing for Hard Times OverviewHurricanes, Tornadoes, Flooding, Lay offs, the list goes on and on.
